Episode 11: Going to the End of a Village on the Border

"Hey, you made me wait."

A man of good stature emerges from inside the village.

The village chief who ruled Dayton Village.He was the same age as us, but after his predecessor lost his legs, he ran for office and became the new village chief.

The intention of the person himself was to live a wealthy and comfortable life as a village chief like his predecessors, but the work imposed on the current village chief was not easy.

I am still being held responsible and taking the initiative.

"I'm sorry. I know you're not feeling well, but you have to be patient."

From the entrance of the village, I looked inside the village and saw a villager with a weapon in his hand.

Even though it was a weapon, it was centered on a simple spear, which was clearly inferior to the equipment the adventurer had.

Is it something to be so vigilant about?

When I was a child, Lew used to show off his strength.The other children were naturally poor.

But now that I'm an adult, I'm more powerful than pure.That's why I don't want to flaunt my power, but I don't need to be a badass.Besides, the behavior of the villagers is the responsibility of the village chief, Lew.The tone was equal to that of nature.

That's the only thing that threatens a small village.

Liu was suspended with [him], but it was not the dangerous monster that appeared in the forest, but the knights stationed right next to the village.

"The Knights will protect the village."

"Still, it's a mistake."

A man with a weapon is nearby.

Fortunately, no monsters came out of the forest, and no one in the villagers had seen the monsters with their own eyes, so the threat to the monsters naturally faded.

"I understand the circumstances. That's why we have to be able to distinguish between those who protect us and those who attack us."

"... I know"

When I lived in a small village alone, no major problems arose even though I thought that I would not welcome people from other places.

But the village of Dayton is going to grow.If you can't keep up with the changes of the times, the Allister family will be eliminated with no questions asked.No, we'll probably have another village nearby, but one with minimal amenities.I can see that it will be more painful than it is now.

"Other villages are struggling to get a little bigger."If you're the village chief, you have to forgive me for all the trouble. "

"I really, really know."

I know - that's what Lew said, but it was clear that she hadn't been able to put it into practice.

Then why don't you accept the Knights?

"... the elderly people are against it."

The elderly who are already spending the rest of their lives want to continue to live their lives as they have always lived and end their lives.

That is why I am opposed to making the village bigger.

Well, you can have that meeting over there.

You're from this village, aren't you?

"[Former] I'm from this village."Now I'm based in Alistair. "

Many years have passed since I bought the mansion at my base.

I have no intention of relocating, and I have no reason to return to the village.

Dayton Village is my home, but I don't plan to be a base in the future.

"Unfortunately, I can't lend you the village facilities because there are villagers who are opposed to it."

It's a waste to have an inn after all.

An inn built on a vacant lot with the investment of the Alistair family.The inn was built in anticipation of the future, but the exploitation that was done several times has been interrupted, and there are no employees yet.

There are other places that the Knights can rest in, as they are preparing to use as a relay area.

"If that's the case, it doesn't matter."

"I'm sorry."

"If you have time to apologize, you should persuade yourself."If you stay like this, the Alistair family will take over the village. "

Preparations for this are underway.

This time, it was fatal that I didn't accept the Knights immediately.

After a brief greeting, she leaves the entrance of the village and heads towards the Knights' garrison where Sylvia and the others are waiting.

How was it?

"No, it looks like the old people are getting in the way."

I responded to Silvia, who asked me to come back.

I tried to find a place to rest the stunned Noel, but he wouldn't let anyone with the fighting power into the village.Until now, the Knights were from Dayton Village, so they were returning to their elder brother, who was a negotiator.You can't just accept where we asked for it.

But Lew didn't realize he needed to force the old men to shut up.

If possible, I'd like to have a base where I can take a leisurely break.

“Wouldn't we need it?”

Return to the Mansion in Aleister and drive back to the village every morning.

Travel hassles make it difficult to secure a base for something, so you can avoid cumbersome negotiations with certainty.

"That's fine, but..."

What bothers me is the consciousness of the villagers.

If I don't get a sense of crisis with the status quo, I'll really be taken over by the village.Because it's their home, I can't stand them getting kicked out.

"There's an easier way."

The Knights, who had predicted that they would not be able to use the village from the beginning, had brought in a large tent.

Adventurers also have a tent where they can sleep.

If we need a place to rest, all we need to do is use what we brought in.

"You've decided where to go."

Yes.

Melissa was acting differently while negotiating the use of the village.

She asked me to find a suitable place for camping far away from Dayton Village.

Labyrinth Magic: Toolbox (Item Box)

When you use magic, the magic circle that connects the labyrinth to the space is drawn on the ground, and the cottage emerges from the back of the magic circle.It has all the amenities such as a bed, and if no one can see it, it's a good substitute.

"Oh, what?"

"What!? When did you get this stuff ready?"

The adventurers who sensed the signs of magic approached to find out what was happening.

The cottage seemed more attractive to them than the camp.

Would you like to use it?

But it's yours, isn't it?

Melissa's gaze shows her a little further away from the cottage where she emerged.

The adventurers will cheer you up when you show up at the cottage at your behest.

"In this way, we have many cottages, and we consume only a small amount of magic power if we just cast them out."

Oh!

"If you want to borrow it, please come forward."

Dozens of humans start raising their hands when they start recruiting.

It's been weeks since they started camping near Dayton Village.Even though food and groceries are sent by Allister, if you live in poor conditions for a long time, you will be fatigued.It's not strange that I sometimes want to spend time in a place where I can relax.

But is it okay?

Of course, I'll take the price.

It can't be rented out for free.

"I'll give you five silver coins per cottage for one night."

"Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey,

"But if you think about being able to rest..."

Adventurers are lost.
